Specialised Fumigation for Containers, Silos & Commercial Sites
ICA-04 Quarantine Fumigation
At FirstCare Pest Control, we are fully accredited under the ICA-04 protocol, ensuring all fumigation procedures meet the strict requirements of PIRSA and relevant interstate quarantine authorities. Our trained and certified staff operate in full compliance with the ICA-04 Operational Procedure, focusing on the treatment of plant and plant materials for pests like the Queensland Fruit Fly and other biosecurity threats.
We operate two on-site fumigation chambers:

Frequently asked questions
General questions
What attracts mosquitoes to my property in Melbourne?
Mosquitoes are primarily attracted to standing water, which is essential for their breeding. Even small amounts of water in containers, clogged gutters, bird baths, or uneven ground can serve as breeding sites. They are also attracted to carbon dioxide (exhaled by humans and animals) and certain scents. Properties in Melbourne with gardens, water features, or areas prone to collecting water are particularly susceptible.
How long does a mosquito treatment last?
The duration of a mosquito treatment’s effectiveness can vary depending on factors such as the type of treatment used, environmental conditions (like heavy rainfall), and the density of mosquitoes in the surrounding area. Generally, barrier treatments can provide significant relief for several weeks. Addressing breeding sources has a longer-term impact. We can discuss the expected longevity during your service.
Are your mosquito control methods safe for children and pets?
Yes, the safety of your family and pets is paramount. We use professional-grade products that, when applied correctly by our trained technicians according to label instructions, pose minimal risk to humans and animals. We will always inform you of any precautions needed, such as keeping pets and children away from treated areas until they are dry, ensuring your peace of mind.
Besides professional treatment, what else can I do to control mosquitoes?
Eliminating standing water is the most crucial step. Regularly empty and clean bird baths, pet water bowls, and plant saucers. Clear clogged gutters and downpipes. Turn over buckets, wheelbarrows, and other containers that can collect water. Ensure swimming pools are properly maintained. Report stagnant water in public areas to your local council. These actions complement professional treatments significantly.
When is mosquito season typically in Melbourne?
Mosquito activity in Melbourne and Victoria is generally highest during the warmer months, typically from late spring through summer and into autumn. Increased rainfall and warmer temperatures create ideal breeding conditions. However, mosquitoes can be present at other times of the year if conditions are favourable, particularly in areas with permanent water sources. Proactive control measures before and during peak season are recommended.
